I'm laughing so hard


Cute Blonde 18 Year Old babysitter - Watch more free videos

It's not what you think.

I've noticed something....

Most of the shows on Discovery are edumacation related! All except for those horror freakshow things, like Mayday. Mythbusters... they kinda teeter on complete entertainment. They do some science stuff sometimes, but most of it is the blowing up quota they have to fill per show. Dirty Jobs is more interesting, but still the only real education show is Daily Planet. And that's scientific news. Maybe I'm bitching because Discovery is my favourite channel, I don't know and I think I might have to watch CNN again tonight just because of the lack of anything to watch on TV. To think, I might have to watch the olympics because there just isn't anything else on.

Yes!!!!

Headphones have been released from customs, I should be getting them tomorrow. I can't even express how happy I am right now, even if the headphones are missing the headband pad. I'll just ghetto mod something onto it if it isn't comfy, and if it is I don't even give a shit then. But from now on I have to turn off my impulsive buying methods and start saving for a big purchase... a car. And those details shall be worked out in the future, along with what I want for a car, and which insurance company I'm going to decide to be raped by.

Also I'm in training for the last week of August, when I go camping for a few days. I need some more bike riding, and some more weight training. Weight training is covered in work, and bike riding is something I can cover. Hell, today I believe that I did 15 kilometres through Oshawa, which was a huge clusterfuck and I will never do that again. Well... maybe because Ajax is too far and there really isn't enough roads and locations in Whitby to ride around to. But for now, I get to bask in the blue LED light's coming from my keyboard and mouse, along with the monitor's glow. Such is my happy life right now.

The Wonders of Early Morning TV

In all of the blankness of this mornings TV, I decided to look through the satellite channels that I never watch because there's always something better on. Not the case right now, so I put on CNN. As soon as I started listening I laughed. And laughed. Sure, I know CNN is supposed to be serious but I always think of them as a bunch or grown ups playing with plastic toddler toys. Why? By the time CNN has something reported everyone has beaten them to the punch. I know I'll get a lot of flack for that, but hell that's what I think of CNN.

Mainly because of what they try to represent: Mid West white America. You know who those people are? Rednecks and farmers. In that mix is also the parents that don't let their kids outside due to the threat of whatever CNN is reporting. So then starts the fattening of the little butterballs. Then more people get angry, and CNN just keeps on reporting the news. But no one really does anything, and I just change the channel or get my news from a different source, some of which are BBC, CBC, canoe.ca, and for my normal electronic knowledge Engadget, Joystiq, RockPaperShotgun and sometimes bit-tech if I have the time. There's also finding out from forums that I frequent quite a bit... and I'm not even going to try to list all of those.

But thats just me, and my whole fucked up perspective on the world. Holy crap, I just lost some more brain cells trying to wrap my head around the crap that CNN has on now... but yet there still isn't anything on besides old cartoons, and those are starting to become very, very tempting in my mind.

Holy Crap that was close

Well, earlier today I tried setting my CSS back up to stock sounds. With that not finished, and while I was waiting for it to redownload for the 3rd time, I decided to look around on the Internet. This leads to bad things, because I have a tendency to get wrapped up in modding. As it came to be, I tried to install the new UXtheme patcher and had XP crash on me. Hard. I almost gave up and reinstalled. Almost. But I figured that I might as well try a few roll backs and hey, I'm back. My antivirus was fucked and I've lost 2 programs, but not anything I haven't or can't fix. Turns out that I had a hidden virus in a .rar, unopened and not in service but I think that was the cause of the giant shitstorm that lasted me 3 hours. Now I'm going to try again, once I have a virus scan done. My plan is to make XP seem so un-XP like that the average person would go "Dude, get Windows". Problem is, I have a ton of crap. By that I mean that I have almost 310 gigs of stuff on 3 HDD's. 2 of which are almost full. But, I will soldier on and hopefully I'll have some pics for later. Maybe my CSS will be fully functional again too...

Oh Customs....

My package finally found it's way... directly into customs' hands. But people have told me that Canada Customs is quicker than US Customs... but that's not saying much because the US spends like $1200 checking every single thing that comes into their country as a package so that there isn't any drugs or a bomb. Canada Customs... they look at the receipt, look at the item, check the item and then close the box, seal it, and throw it into Canada Post's hands. Hell, I might even get the same customs guy that did me when we went through to Mexico last year. But I'm being optimistic, there's lots of customs officials.

And time for a rant: all talk. Why don't people like all talk in games? It makes the games more fun, and challenging. Why? You will know where the enemies are going if they are dumb enough to scream it over the mic. You have something to do if your team is losing, or if your team is winning and your bored. You can get people from both sides trying to flush out spies or find where the last AFK is. Then there's always the naysayers, it ruins the game and makes the servers a lag feast. Sure, if you have a shitty connection and you don't like having fun.
If you don't like the all talk, mute everyone. I do this when I surf because people spam music over the mics and it sounds like ass on my headphones. It sounds even worse when I'm listening to music and I hear this crap in the backgroud. In my opinion, if you want to listen to music use Foobar or Winamp to play it and don't share it with everyone. We don't all like your Emo hip crap that has no good musical qualities to it.

Yessssss

Got a new griller today, a nice Broil King charcoal griller. It's an outside floor model, so it isn't anything of a great looker. But oh my god, I want to grill so much stuff on it. The old BBQ we have is so old that the instructions to get the damn thing going are worn off. So every single time I want something to eat, I can't use the BBQ because I don't know how to turn it on. Charcoal though... put charcoal in rack, spray with fluid and light. Leave for a few minutes to heat up and damn, you got a good cooking heat. No worries about grease, that's all burnt off. The grills? They get cleaned from the heat. This thing will kick the crap out of most propane or natural gas BBQ's just because of the simplicity. And the tasteyness.

I love and hate being spontaneous

Out of nowhere today I decided that I needed a backlite keyboard. So guess what I'm typing from now? A new Saitek Eclipse that has a blue backlite. Yea, it works and isn't all that bad of a keyboard. Headphone update: WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!!? Still off in magical postal land of boxes and boxes of stuff worth tons of money. Canada Post can't even tell me what happened to them, they have the same info that I get from the tracking site. So I now sit here with a nice new gaming like keyboard but no nice new gaming like headphones that will explode my mind. Not to knock my current Sennheiser's though, I do like them. It's just I need something that has a little isolation and some more bass. And now I'm off to bed, I didn't know what to do with myself until now. That's not a joke.

Nothing Real Important

I haven't had anything really important happen in the past few days, all I've done is sat around and played either CS:S or TF2. I did see a paintball gun turret, which I might buy if the price is good, and I'm still waiting on my headphones... :( More updates on the headphones later, maybe Sunday.

July 29, 2008

Oh Wow I want these CS Skins



Fuck that be funny as hell!

Im Tired....

And bored too. But I don't want to do anything because then I have to move towards my bed, which would make me go to sleep. My headphones are... somewhere's in the US. At least I know that tommorow I'll wake up and have Kingdom Hearts 2 waiting for me, which I should mention. The beginning is boring as hell, as I remembered it, but I never noticed so much ailising. Like hot damn there isn't a straight edge in the whole game! But it redeams itself with an amazing soundtrack, which I can't get enough of. Also the whole PS2 thing is really getting to me... but I won't talk about that right now because I can't remember what I was going to rant about.

July 28, 2008

Yay, I've finally made a good decision

I'm going to play through Kingdom Hearts 2 again, hopefully without a problem. I've also got my older games that I can play too, like Kirby Super Stars and Super Mario World. I'll also have to put up some videos now that I've figured out how to actually make a video using the emulator itself and not using a screen cap program or something. So yea... and I work again tonight, but then I'm off until Saturday and that might even change if I get called in on Thursday or Friday. My headphones are somewhere in the mail, and now I sit here in my tight jeans contemplating going to EB or eating first.

Holy Crap

I just saw this...

Here's a copypasta of it:

Pictured: The terrifying 4-inch key fob gun used to shoot clubber 'in row over girls'

By Colin Fernandez
Last updated at 12:19 AM on 26th July 2008


At just four inches long, it fits easily in the hand and could be a key fob of the type used to open car doors by remote control.

But this tiny device is in fact a lethal weapon - a gun capable of firing two 0.25-inch bullets.

Yesterday, a thug was jailed for nine years for using one like it to shoot a man for 'disrespecting' him in a nightclub.

Enlarge gun

Marcus Henry's weapon was converted from a pocket gun designed to fire miniature flares, a gadget which is legal in Bulgaria where they cost £15.

Around 100 are believed to have filtered into Britain from Eastern Europe in the latest worrying illustration of how weapons once found in the realm of spy fiction are falling into the hands of criminals.

The double-barrelled gun is fired by pressing buttons on the side.

Marcus Henry was jailed today for shooting a man with the key fob gun

Henry, 27, shot Yaw Darko Kwakye from nine feet outside the Departure Lounge club in the City of London on December 16 last year, hitting him in the shoulder.

Mr Darko Kwakye survived because, due to the short barrel of the weapon, the bullet did not fire straight but rotated through the air and hit him side-on. Henry was jailed at the Old Bailey yesterday.

Mark Heywood, prosecuting, told the jury: 'In these days of heightened security, particularly in our capital city, if someone wants to carry a weapon it must be concealed.

'One method of concealment is to disguise what it is - a remote control key fob of the kind you might find is used to open the doors of a car.'

The court heard that Henry, who was in the club with a friend, had been seen chatting to Mr Darko Kwakye's girlfriend shortly before the club closed at 4am.

Mr Heywood told jurors that after a fight between the two men in the club, Henry lay in wait outside when the club shut and confronted members of 24-year-old Mr Darko Kwakye's group.

'Henry was seen to have his hand near his waistband on a number of occasions and was heard to say, "Look how many of you there are, there's only two of us",' Mr Heywood said.

'He then brought his hand out and into a straight-arm firing position and then aimed in the direction of Mr Darko Kwakye and the others.

'There was a lot of movement and between two and four sounds like shots.'

The 4-inch Bulgarian-made key fob gun is split into two separate pieces to load. The 2 shows the muzzle of the weapon.

The victim's group at first scattered but then returned to smash the windows of Henry's car as he sped away.

'Mr Darko Kwakye had in fact been hit in the right shoulder, but he didn't realise it,' said Mr Heywood.

'He went down the street and got into a car with two others. He realised as he was travelling away there was blood on his shirt and a bullet hole.'

The gun was found hidden in a sock with traces of Henry's blood on it during a police search of a house.

Henry, of Battersea, South-West London, denied he was the gunman, but was convicted of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of a prohibited weapon and unlawful wounding. He was acquitted of attempted murder.

Jailing him, Judge Christopher Moss said the offence of bringing a loaded firearm into a public place and using it should meet with a 'severe prison sentence'.

Mr Heywood asked for the gun to be forfeited but not destroyed, so that the 'novel weapon' could be used for training purposes by the police.

Detective Sergeant Dave Carter, of City of London Police, said: 'They are very dangerous weapons, arguably more dangerous than your average handgun because to the casual glance they look like something different.

'It is not particularly accurate but from a short distance it can be fatal.'

Three years ago in Manchester, suspected gang member Fabian Flowers, 19, fatally shot himself in the head while demonstrating a similar gun in a nightclub.

AHHH IT BURNS



DEAR SWEET GOD

So... Tired....

I need to find a better job, something where I don't get burnt, soaked and scalded all in the same shift... Something like Blockbusters, or Rogers. Those hours on your feet really get to you when you decide that "Is this what I want to do for the rest of life." So, after only a few weeks of working I'm going back out on a job hunt at places that I would enjoy better. They aren't jobs that I want, they're jobs that I would like much better than working as a cook in a hot kitchen for 7 hours, burning myself with oil steam and giving my face a nice chance for a huge fucking breakout. But this is me, being that I hate having to do any real work for money. But that is how most people are... So I had an epiphany on the Internet today. Great.

So I've started watching HBO's The Wire

And I actually like it. It's a lot better than the newer Generation Kill, and is written by the same guy. I'm only on the first season, but I have a feeling that it grows and grows. Sort of like Scrubs, but with Scrubs you can jump on in almost any season and still get the show because the writers make it easy for viewers to take breaks and come back with a backstory. But then again, The Wire isn't any Band of Brothers from what I can tell right now. Sure, it may have had a longer run but there isn't that sense of duty that Band of Brothers has with it. I still want more things to do... and I have more music than anyone possibly needs. But now I'm going back to watch more, and maybe do a twosie. :P

Kindom Hearts for the DS?!?!

YESSSS!!!!!! I loved the original KH's series on the PS2, and I still remember the 2 weeks that I didn't turn off my PS2 because it wouldn't save my KH2 file without overwrting my GT4 file. I wish I had never sold those games, but here I am... poor, waiting on my new headphones and tired as hell. Without a halfway decent game to consume me, unless you count Pokemon which I haven't had the heart to pick back up again. Super Mario World turned out to be a huge fail for me, and my PC controller sucks too much to try Mega Man X. Anyways, KH FOR THE DS!!!!! I need sleep, and that's what I'm going to do right now for the sanity of this blog and for my sanity too.

Mmm Perogies

Mhmmm mhhmmmm mmmhmmmhmmmmhmmmhmmmmm mmmmhmmmhmhmhmmmmm mhmhm! mhmhmmmmmhm mmhmm hmmmhmm mmmmm...

It's Official...

My neighbor is cutting his grass with an electric lawn mower with another giant rain storm heading this way. His protection: a bicycle helmet from the 90's. I'm also now poor again, as I have sent off my money for the new headphones! Yea, and I'm going ghetto with the headband pad until i can afford another one. My solution: foam and electrical tape. So now I sit here waiting for it to rain extremely hard so that I can go and play some SNES games. Maybe a few NES games too... there might be a few videos following my adventures into that of what I have never played before.

New Template, Less Annoying for me

If you looked at the time stamps and title on the old template, it was all lower case. IT DROVE ME INSANE. So I decided to try and fix it, but the best solution was going to a completely new template that isn't as annoying on my end. And I've figured out that I can't fly my new Havoc Heli at all anymore, I used to be good at flying them though... need more practice!

I broke down after getting paid

And I bought myself a Havoc Heli for $25! Odles of fun will come from this, and many many videos if it doesn't die in 20 minutes. I shall have more on it later, and I got it in the electric blue sweet colour, something similar to the colour of my walls.

New keyboard is great!

Well, I switched back from that Microsoft uneven piece of shit to the normally laid out Logitech keyboard, that feels great. I'm still waiting to get paid, and I'm becoming bored as hell waiting for The Wire to.... finish. But this is my life during the off season, so I wait and wait and wait and wait and get yelled at by friends because I thought they had other plans but really I have no clue what happened.

To the front porch where I was going to look at the weather, before getting ready for a bike trip...

Fuck.
